I’ve also read the Bible and they do contradict. Whether Buddha is a prophet or not his teachings contradict what the Bible teaches therefore making Buddha a false prophet. The Bible is specifically against false prophets. There are many more teachings in Buddhism that Christians simply cannot follow otherwise it contradicts what God has revealed to humanity through the Bible.
Hi there. I do agree on that. But just reading the Bible may not be enough as the wisdom of the bible is so high and dense it takes reading of some good old philosophy books too to help saturate the wisdom. The bible cuts straight to the point. I have found what philosophers put it in words much easier to digest as the Bible is dense in wisdom and takes time to actually digest. Plus mindfulness meditation can be used by Christians to calm our minds on our day to day lives. It doesn't mean you become Buddhist just because you meditate but I do agree with the fact that they have scientific way of it as they have practised more than us on mindful mediation. If mindfulness mediation can help us keep that temptation off the bay I say use it.
Most of the Christians I have met are more concered with gaining membership for increasing there revenue than actully the "how" also the bible doesn't really add any value to my life. 😂
Only by observing the 4 noble truths and the eight fold path can one become enlightened. Without enlightenment it is impossible to see through the illusion of this reality

Discovering Paul Tillich and Thich Nhat Hanh did my spiritual life wonders. The concept of God as the ground of being on the one hand and the interbeing of all things on the other helps bridge the gap between the two for me in a lot of ways.
I'm in a similar position as you my friend I'm interested in many of the spiritual paths but mainly Christianity and Buddhism I find to be quite exceptional
Children of books can never understand Indian religions. BUDDHA WAS SOMEONE WHO INFLUENCED THE WHOLE CONTINENT AND NEVER SINGLE CRUSADE DONE ON HIS NAME. Buddha was far better human and Avatar than most who are captured in scriptures. Monks are considered to be most peaceful still. They don’t collect gold, weapons, or women Nuns on name of Buddha. So Christianity ✝️ must stay away from Buddhism
As a Buddhist , I have to say BS , look at Rohingya genocide , that was done under the name of our religion . Stop insulting other religions on our behalf , that does not benefit us , that is a behavior that we should be ashamed of
Yes Buddhist cultures tend not to be materialistic but a very well-known lama in the Philadelphia area said he has seen even with his own family and relatives once they came to America to live some of them start to become very materialistic .
In China, many practice both. As Taoism and Buddhas teaching is quite similar, both empathise in ego dead, while a Taoist can only be reborn as a higher form of life, Buddha teaches us how to escape the cycle of life and because life cycle is just sufferings.
@@anygoodnamesactually, a true taoist would tell you something very different. Most people think Buddhism and Taoism are kinda the same because if their culture, but they have many fundamental differences, such as who’s in charge of hell, where to go after death, the basic understanding of the world, etc. That being said, some would argue that folk custom is more diverse and can do something that a religion can’t do, which I do agree. Those who believe in both Taoism and Buddhism can’t be divine as a Taoist or a Buddhist, but a lot of them could do plenty of miracles through the power of Tao Gods and Guanyin. I think we don’t have to be too stubborn about which path we should choose to walk on since life is always changing and always full of unexpected events. Just experience it with respect to all the unknown, what suits you will come to you.
Taoism actually has close ties to Buddhism already. Zen is a combination of traditional Buddhism, Taoism and Mahayana. I practice Buddhism and Taoism and there is no contradiction.
@@cdo8994 Please renounce the evil Christian demon Yaldabaoth. He's not an enlightened being. He is a demon that wants to keep you trapped in Samsara forever. And he teaches evil things. In Deuteronomy 13 and 17 he says to stone your children for worshipping another God besides him. 100% evil. Pray to Tara, Manjushri, or Guanyin. They are higher. And they won't threaten you with hellfire or violence for disagreeing with them, or worshipping another God.
I agree, buddhism makes me a better muslim. I am deeply influenced by the way buddhists make sure to weigh every single action in their lives, and their understanding that the true test and journey is that of battling the self. On the other hand, buddhism is very anti-life and denies the creator. However, that is their beliefs and I respect it, and I will continue to try and learn from my buddhist brothers and sisters.
I don't believe they are anti-life and oddly enough it was Buddhism for me that really helped reaffirm that they're definitely is some kind of God or higher intelligence that is all loving . But what happens sometimes in Buddhism is people reach a state where they experience some kind of emptiness and sometimes when you are there in the void you will feel there is no God no nothing and it is very frightening . I believe that's why they have such a strong emphasis on prayer and visualizations with their different Buddhas and Saints ... other times you feel this powerful love out there that is all encompassing that flows within you and flows without you like this song by George Harrison . So they don't call it God they call it MIND , they say only thing that really exists is mind ... and we are all one in that mind just like each individual drop of water makes the vast ocean
Also think about what they're really saying when they say there is only MIND. They have a prayer that says something like " no ears , no eyes , no tongue " ... called the HEART Sutra . In other words , We Are Spiritual Beings NOT trapped in a physical world BUT instead , We Are Spiritual Beings thinking we are in a physical world ... Your mind , your thoughts , your actions , your words , your karma create your world . And this is also why faith in the good out there is so important .
I can understand where youre coming from in the sense that once you truly become enlightened, the sense of separation from being is perhaps no longer there, thus it would be redundant to use labels such as 'God' and 'worhsipper' as that would entail that they are separate. Maybe the buddhists have bypassed this step and jumped straight into recognizing that true existence is one and only one. Even then I have issue with the fact that they refuse to attribute intent to 'God' or the 'mind' as you call it. As far as I have studied (which is surely not enough) about buddhism they see 'creation' as chaotic occurrence that just 'is', rather than having a specific purpose designed by a particular independent cause.
Buddhism is a religion, not a philosophical system. And it contains a lot of logical pitfalls. However, it may carry some kind of truth beside that. In the East it is more common to combine religious systems, such as Buddhism and Shinto. That is laudable. If someone wishes to be a Buddhist and a Christian simultaneously, I approve.
I have no faith in God. I have seen no evidence of God, or Gods. The devil even has no evidence of existence. I'm 43, and have practiced many religions. I like Buddhism, because it's grounded in people and a real historical man. ❤❤
I’ve seen evidence of the devil in you with your first statement “I have no faith in God.” That was what Satan claimed when he fell out of God’s grace.
My theory to combine the teo is that bodhichitta is a blessing from God, something that provides an opening to liberation from cyclic existence, which includes the idea of sin and the 8fold path is essentially a practice that adheres to the guidelines of the commandments
I currently go to a Christian church and am part of the local youth group, but I found it difficult to believe that God will get you through life struggles as long as you have faith in him. To put trust in an outside source like God in a foreign affair is like trusting in the stock market to miraculously work out in your favor without any research. I seek Buddhism as a way to better my understanding of religion and philosophy, one cannot expect to win a bad situation by divine faith alone. It takes skill, preperation and reason to even have a chance of winning in a situation. There's more evidence for incidents occurring on the basis of luck. God has given me direction, but my purpose is a fulfillment I can only grant myself.
@@Wizkid_Utopia How can anyone, who comes to God, please him if they lack such faith? Brother you lack faith, and like the scriptures says it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God without faith. So therefore you have gone and searched for created things rather than the creator himself who already knows all things.
Another comment said it, but Buddhism is not a religion, only a lifestyle. Like being a vegan or martial artist, painter or yoga instructor. The Buddha is a title, not a god, which means enlightened one, and is a teacher. So you can mix faith with lifestyle. Plenty of American Christians do it with their own lifestyles. I'm not saying this to change your mind, but in hopes that you will not judge me, but understand that in this modern day, faith in God isn't what is used to be because people simply become cynical with how ugly the world is

Do as you please but understand it is very disrespectful and offensive to try and redefine another culture’s faith for one’s own motivations.
In buddhism you can be a "christian" and a buddhist but as a true born again Christian, you can't practice buddhism. God changes your heart that you would not wanna practice false gods & false religions, He makes you no longer love sin but love God ❤
@@jowens197 My bad bro if I put that the wrong way. That's why I put "& false religions", I meant that when anyone truly comes to Christ their heart does not want to serve anyone or anything else than the One true God
@@user-hr3dx1ov3s Yeah exactly the buddha teaches how to be a successful christian without Christ which is doomed to fail. We are all naturally sinners and we are naturally attracted to sin. It is only when you come to Christ that your attraction to sin turns to attraction for holiness.
In Buddha’s bible mention about angels listen to Buddha’s lessons. They received more merit and wisdoms from Buddha and some even gone to nirvana because of Buddha’s lessons , even some low angels become higher angels and can live in heaven longer. I don’t know if it’s true.
It's BS. A demon can come as an angel of light to manipulate. Colossians chapter 1:15-20 15 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
I don’t mean to come rude or disrespectful and this is in the sake of truth, but we cannot as Christians mix with other religions or faiths. We have our scripture, our tradition, and our most important part, our Lord. The Holy Trinity is all we need and we don’t need other faiths, but do by all means feel free to practice your faith however you so choose. I didn’t come to persuade or convert, but to establish a staple of we cannot and should never mix with other religions. God bless and go in peace.
If god exists in different religions why not learn what every religion has to offer and try to collect information to build a better version of yourself? People always try to elevate they re beliefs above others creating division and war
It's because basically religions are usually exclusive. The biblical and the buddhist worldview are really not compatible, only if you don't stay true to what each teaches. And what true worth has a worldview, if it's a pick and choose thing? In doing this you are making yourself God, because you decide what is important, right and wrong. That's the root of all evil in the Bible, by the way.
@@simonmankel941 dont you have something deep inside you that makes you see and understand truth? I do and i believe we all do.

There are somethings i dont find has real truth in each of these religions, to me i feel like in some way, some teachings have been adulturated porpusefuly simply to increase they re power has an instituition, not as a religion. To me, honestly, when you try to elevate your beliefs above anyone elses, it feels untruthful and ignorant to what the other people may feel or say, you will never be the person next to you, respect that fact and aknowledge you dont know everything. In my opinion, if all you do is spread love and kindness,have compassion and dont descriminate, that is to me a good human being. And thats all that matters, when we start dissecting religius books against one another we miss the point in all of them, and the point is to spread love and kindness. Im AM not a god, Im simply a human wich has flaws and knows what suffering is like. All the religious wars that have happened could have been avoided if people tought about being in the other persons shoes, i have seen many atrocities in history, horrors caused by wanting to be right and assuming the others are wrong,the cycle will never end unless we accept each other and cooperate with each other, this is what i believe, feel free to think what you want, i just want people to stop suffering and dying
Nah here's what i think,I think you can be Christian,Muslim,Hindu,Sikh,Daoist,etc and follow the PHILOSOPHY of the Buddha but you can't be Buddhist and your religion at the same time because to be Buddhist you have to believe in Nirvana,Naraka,etc and these people who claim to be of probably are ignoring a part of their religion or a part of Buddhism so its fine to follow the philosophy of the buddha and be part of your religion because following the philosophy of him doesn't make you Buddhist but following the beliefs of Buddhism makes you Buddhist,like for example,do you become a jew if your teacher is jewish?
Christianity also believes in the existence of the self as distinct from the rest of existence and (obviously) in the existence of a transcendent, uncreated Divine Nature that is really distinct from the creatures of the world (humans, animals, inanimate objects, etc.)
You might be able to practice both, but you cannot be both, you’re either for God, or you are not. There is no “side chick spirituality” when it comes to following God.
@@Heiscomingback777You can pratice yes, meditation is for everyone, but some practices of Buddhism might be prohibited by your religion but some can be practiced and is good for your mental health and over all your mind

The fundamental ground between these two are too different to be possible. This would be like planting your seed on rocky ground. In budism, your strength comes from with in. In Christianity, your strength comes from above. You can not truly practice both if you aim to be on fire for one. You will be Luke warm at best with a divided house.

Do you pray to other “gods”? Buddhism includes a wide array of divine beings that are venerated in various ritual and popular contexts You are breaking the first commandment. Thou shall have no other gods before me.
Those Devine beings are not gods, they escape the life cycle already, while according to Buddha’s teaching (experience through meditation), god is still in the endless life cycle.
It’s like god is the boss of the game, but all the Buddhas just quit the game and is a spectator of the game. Even god has no way to catch them back into the game haha funnnnn
Also buddhism prohibits recreational drug use like weed, shrooms, toad venom, or opium, unlike in orthodox christianity whete there's no explicit prohibition on recreational intoxicants, I like my drugs tahnk you very much.
it’s up to the interpretation of the practitioner to decide if such things are considered poison in there journey to enlightenment.Too much of anything is a poison too the body and mind. Ahahaha so if it’s not causing you any harm physically,emotionally,spiritually,and or socially. Then for some in this case you my friend are just fine❤️. when such things attempt or start to take control is it then time to ask yourself are you following the path and where along did you go astray.
@@torossia They aren't laws. They are trainings to be taken up willfully by a person who sees the value in them. If you don't see the value in not taking intoxicants it doesn't mean you can't see the value and gain benefit from following other trainings taught by the Buddha, such as not killing, not stealing, not lying, and not committing sexual misconduct. But it's true that if you are a monk you are generally not allowed to use intoxicants. There isn't an external spiritual entity that will punish a person for using intoxicants according to Buddhism. Whether or not the result using intoxicants will be more suffering than happiness is another question.
Yes, you're right! I'm Christian, but I love Buddha's teaching and I think that Buddhist are actually like Christians should be...Love&Respekt for Buddha..🙏❤️🕊️
You can practice both but only if you’re part of one of the small universalist sects of Christianity you cannot in wider Christianity. This is because in Christianity the “path to enlightenment” if you want to call it that is devotion to Christ and aligning yourself with the will of the triune God and a constant turning away from your sins and commitment to the Church. This isn’t compatible with Buddhist belief in Dharma, cosmology, or spiritual practice. For one a Christian wouldn’t be able to see the Buddha himself as a spiritual guide as he was not a Christian and is therefore doesn’t qualify as a spiritual father. To most Christians Buddha is no different than Aristotle. Some good secular ideas but nothing spiritual claimed or said is valid as he doesn’t meet the criteria for spiritual leadership. This would fundamentally prevent a Christian from being a Buddhist as anything read or learned can only be viewed secularly and scholarly not spiritually.
You cant be a christian and buddhist at the same time tbh, you can draw from buddhist principles and vice versa but both ideas are different and not reconciliable.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Catholics are Christian. Catholic means universal. Christ's universal church for everyone everywhere. Christ told Peter "Upon this rock I'll build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Peter was the rock. He's buried at St Peter's Basilica. Every Pope after has been in succession. The same church that has stood for 2000 years going back to Christ and Peter. It was only 400+ years ago when a monk named Luther broke communion from the Catholic church to start his own church and removed 7 books from the old Testament. That was the beginning of all these protestant denominations and teachings of Calvanism or Arminianism etc. Everything done in the Catholic church can be found in scripture. Those who disagree need to read their bibles more.
Buddism isn’t so much a religion as a philosophy or way of living. Buddhists look to the Buddha as a teacher and guide, not as God who will bestow salvation.

The Bible is specifically against false prophets. There are many more teachings in Buddhism that Christians simply cannot follow otherwise it contradicts what God has revealed to humanity through the Bible.
@@Heiscomingback777 Anyone who takes their Judaism seriously can tell and aptly demonstrate that Yeshua was the very definition of a false prophet.
@@whiteobama3032The sense of "self" is the highest form of illusion in buddhism. The salvation in Christianity puts emphasis on the self.
a lot of people confused Buddhism with religion but is understandable their confusion :)
Buddhism is a religion... It is a non theistic religion.
I am enthusiastic about the how. I presume it's being prepared by meditation and understanding that calmness will difuse the situation
The Buddhist "how" is in the Christian Bible too, but modern readers have become blind to it. Sadhu and Shalom
Hi there. I do agree on that. But just reading the Bible may not be enough as the wisdom of the bible is so high and dense it takes reading of some good old philosophy books too to help saturate the wisdom. The bible cuts straight to the point. I have found what philosophers put it in words much easier to digest as the Bible is dense in wisdom and takes time to actually digest. Plus mindfulness meditation can be used by Christians to calm our minds on our day to day lives. It doesn't mean you become Buddhist just because you meditate but I do agree with the fact that they have scientific way of it as they have practised more than us on mindful mediation. If mindfulness mediation can help us keep that temptation off the bay I say use it.
Most of the Christians I have met are more concered with gaining membership for increasing there revenue than actully the "how" also the bible doesn't really add any value to my life. 😂
@@punbishal5874 Highly Dense ???😂
@@punbishal5874 yes but also if we only focus on prayers and God, that is by itself meditation and it will calm us down.

The Dalai Lama’s Tibetan system tolerated no democracy, freedom or human rights in any form. In fact, the Tibetan serf slavery system was the darkest human slavery system in the history of mankind, and which spanned many centuries longer than the 400+ years of black slavery in the USA. The Tibetan conditions were also more debasing and dehumanizing than medieval Europe in the latter’s darkest periods.
Discovering Paul Tillich and Thich Nhat Hanh did my spiritual life wonders. The concept of God as the ground of being on the one hand and the interbeing of all things on the other helps bridge the gap between the two for me in a lot of ways.
Buddha said there are 48000 paths to enlightenments, everything will lead to enlightenment, Christ is just one way.

As a Buddhist , I have to say BS , look at Rohingya genocide , that was done under the name of our religion . Stop insulting other religions on our behalf , that does not benefit us , that is a behavior that we should be ashamed of
There are Buddhist nuns ... that was a famous one who wrote a number of books her name is Pema Chodron .
Yes Buddhist cultures tend not to be materialistic but a very well-known lama in the Philadelphia area said he has seen even with his own family and relatives once they came to America to live some of them start to become very materialistic .

@@brialapoint2608 the key word is ignorance. Ignorance is the cause of suffering.
Awesome interpretation!
What about Taoism? I'm a Taoist myself, and I want to know if there's a place for a Taoist in Buddism.
In China, many practice both. As Taoism and Buddhas teaching is quite similar, both empathise in ego dead, while a Taoist can only be reborn as a higher form of life, Buddha teaches us how to escape the cycle of life and because life cycle is just sufferings.
@@anygoodnamesactually, a true taoist would tell you something very different. Most people think Buddhism and Taoism are kinda the same because if their culture, but they have many fundamental differences, such as who’s in charge of hell, where to go after death, the basic understanding of the world, etc.
That being said, some would argue that folk custom is more diverse and can do something that a religion can’t do, which I do agree. Those who believe in both Taoism and Buddhism can’t be divine as a Taoist or a Buddhist, but a lot of them could do plenty of miracles through the power of Tao Gods and Guanyin. I think we don’t have to be too stubborn about which path we should choose to walk on since life is always changing and always full of unexpected events. Just experience it with respect to all the unknown, what suits you will come to you.
Taoism actually has close ties to Buddhism already. Zen is a combination of traditional Buddhism, Taoism and Mahayana. I practice Buddhism and Taoism and there is no contradiction.

@@cdo8994 Please renounce the evil Christian demon Yaldabaoth. He's not an enlightened being. He is a demon that wants to keep you trapped in Samsara forever. And he teaches evil things. In Deuteronomy 13 and 17 he says to stone your children for worshipping another God besides him. 100% evil. Pray to Tara, Manjushri, or Guanyin. They are higher. And they won't threaten you with hellfire or violence for disagreeing with them, or worshipping another God.
I agree, buddhism makes me a better muslim. I am deeply influenced by the way buddhists make sure to weigh every single action in their lives, and their understanding that the true test and journey is that of battling the self. On the other hand, buddhism is very anti-life and denies the creator. However, that is their beliefs and I respect it, and I will continue to try and learn from my buddhist brothers and sisters.
I don't believe they are anti-life and oddly enough it was Buddhism for me that really helped reaffirm that they're definitely is some kind of God or higher intelligence that is all loving .
But what happens sometimes in Buddhism is people reach a state where they experience some kind of emptiness and sometimes when you are there in the void you will feel there is no God no nothing and it is very frightening .
I believe that's why they have such a strong emphasis on prayer and visualizations with their different Buddhas and Saints ... other times you feel this powerful love out there that is all encompassing that flows within you and flows without you like this song by George Harrison .
So they don't call it God they call it MIND , they say only thing that really exists is mind ... and we are all one in that mind just like each individual drop of water makes the vast ocean
Also think about what they're really saying when they say there is only MIND.
They have a prayer that says something like " no ears , no eyes , no tongue " ... called the HEART Sutra .
In other words , We Are Spiritual Beings NOT trapped in a physical world BUT instead , We Are Spiritual Beings thinking we are in a physical world ...
Your mind , your thoughts , your actions , your words , your karma create your world .
And this is also why faith in the good out there is so important .
Oh , I see I responded to the wrong thread ... I was trying to respond to the one where somebody said Buddhism is anti life .
I really like what you said here
I can understand where youre coming from in the sense that once you truly become enlightened, the sense of separation from being is perhaps no longer there, thus it would be redundant to use labels such as 'God' and 'worhsipper' as that would entail that they are separate. Maybe the buddhists have bypassed this step and jumped straight into recognizing that true existence is one and only one. Even then I have issue with the fact that they refuse to attribute intent to 'God' or the 'mind' as you call it. As far as I have studied (which is surely not enough) about buddhism they see 'creation' as chaotic occurrence that just 'is', rather than having a specific purpose designed by a particular independent cause.
Thank you, though I'm atheist, Buddhism resonates with me and I tend to read the Dhammapada often for spiritual uplifting and focus.
Dhammapada is one of my favorites ❤

Buddhism is a religion, not a philosophical system. And it contains a lot of logical pitfalls. However, it may carry some kind of truth beside that. In the East it is more common to combine religious systems, such as Buddhism and Shinto. That is laudable. If someone wishes to be a Buddhist and a Christian simultaneously, I approve.
pitfalls?
I have no faith in God. I have seen no evidence of God, or Gods. The devil even has no evidence of existence. I'm 43, and have practiced many religions. I like Buddhism, because it's grounded in people and a real historical man. ❤❤
I’ve seen evidence of the devil in you with your first statement “I have no faith in God.” That was what Satan claimed when he fell out of God’s grace.
Love this ❤
People take that line WAAY too literally.
My theory to combine the teo is that bodhichitta is a blessing from God, something that provides an opening to liberation from cyclic existence, which includes the idea of sin and the 8fold path is essentially a practice that adheres to the guidelines of the commandments
How you do it is by self control given by only the holy spirt
Thank you.
No you cannot mix both.......God ALONE will help get through anything
I currently go to a Christian church and am part of the local youth group, but I found it difficult to believe that God will get you through life struggles as long as you have faith in him. To put trust in an outside source like God in a foreign affair is like trusting in the stock market to miraculously work out in your favor without any research.
I seek Buddhism as a way to better my understanding of religion and philosophy, one cannot expect to win a bad situation by divine faith alone. It takes skill, preperation and reason to even have a chance of winning in a situation. There's more evidence for incidents occurring on the basis of luck.
God has given me direction, but my purpose is a fulfillment I can only grant myself.
@@Wizkid_Utopia How can anyone, who comes to God, please him if they lack such faith? Brother you lack faith, and like the scriptures says it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God without faith. So therefore you have gone and searched for created things rather than the creator himself who already knows all things.
Another comment said it, but Buddhism is not a religion, only a lifestyle. Like being a vegan or martial artist, painter or yoga instructor. The Buddha is a title, not a god, which means enlightened one, and is a teacher. So you can mix faith with lifestyle. Plenty of American Christians do it with their own lifestyles. I'm not saying this to change your mind, but in hopes that you will not judge me, but understand that in this modern day, faith in God isn't what is used to be because people simply become cynical with how ugly the world is

buddhism isnt a religion
If god exists in different religions why not learn what every religion has to offer and try to collect information to build a better version of yourself? People always try to elevate they re beliefs above others creating division and war
It's because basically religions are usually exclusive.
The biblical and the buddhist worldview are really not compatible, only if you don't stay true to what each teaches.
And what true worth has a worldview, if it's a pick and choose thing? In doing this you are making yourself God, because you decide what is important, right and wrong. That's the root of all evil in the Bible, by the way.
@@simonmankel941 dont you have something deep inside you that makes you see and understand truth? I do and i believe we all do.

There are somethings i dont find has real truth in each of these religions, to me i feel like in some way, some teachings have been adulturated porpusefuly simply to increase they re power has an instituition, not as a religion. To me, honestly, when you try to elevate your beliefs above anyone elses, it feels untruthful and ignorant to what the other people may feel or say, you will never be the person next to you, respect that fact and aknowledge you dont know everything. In my opinion, if all you do is spread love and kindness,have compassion and dont descriminate, that is to me a good human being. And thats all that matters, when we start dissecting religius books against one another we miss the point in all of them, and the point is to spread love and kindness. Im AM not a god, Im simply a human wich has flaws and knows what suffering is like. All the religious wars that have happened could have been avoided if people tought about being in the other persons shoes, i have seen many atrocities in history, horrors caused by wanting to be right and assuming the others are wrong,the cycle will never end unless we accept each other and cooperate with each other, this is what i believe, feel free to think what you want, i just want people to stop suffering and dying

Nah here's what i think,I think you can be Christian,Muslim,Hindu,Sikh,Daoist,etc and follow the PHILOSOPHY of the Buddha but you can't be Buddhist and your religion at the same time because to be Buddhist you have to believe in Nirvana,Naraka,etc and these people who claim to be of probably are ignoring a part of their religion or a part of Buddhism so its fine to follow the philosophy of the buddha and be part of your religion because following the philosophy of him doesn't make you Buddhist but following the beliefs of Buddhism makes you Buddhist,like for example,do you become a jew if your teacher is jewish?

You can practice both but only if you’re part of one of the small universalist sects of Christianity you cannot in wider Christianity. This is because in Christianity the “path to enlightenment” if you want to call it that is devotion to Christ and aligning yourself with the will of the triune God and a constant turning away from your sins and commitment to the Church. This isn’t compatible with Buddhist belief in Dharma, cosmology, or spiritual practice. For one a Christian wouldn’t be able to see the Buddha himself as a spiritual guide as he was not a Christian and is therefore doesn’t qualify as a spiritual father. To most Christians Buddha is no different than Aristotle. Some good secular ideas but nothing spiritual claimed or said is valid as he doesn’t meet the criteria for spiritual leadership. This would fundamentally prevent a Christian from being a Buddhist as anything read or learned can only be viewed secularly and scholarly not spiritually.

Every Pope after has been in succession. The same church that has stood for 2000 years going back to Christ and Peter. It was only 400+ years ago when a monk named Luther broke communion from the Catholic church to start his own church and removed 7 books from the old Testament. That was the beginning of all these protestant denominations and teachings of Calvanism or Arminianism etc. Everything done in the Catholic church can be found in scripture.

@@kenny995 Agreed. People are misinterpreting buddhism. Not only does it espouse a theory of afterlife and reincarnation, it also has a very deep philosophy which rejects attachment which is hard to square with a lot of religions since they are attached to other things such as scripture, family, community etc. However you can still adopt Buddhist practices such as mediation, love, compassion etc.
Buddhism doesnt encourage saviors. Thich naht hahn was kicked out of Vietnam for his views. You do you, but thwre are consequences for the choices you make.
